One Iranian citizen stated, "The Iran nuclear deal is a prime example; the US reneged on everything. This attack is the same. The USs contradictory statements clearly show that none of their pronouncements are guaranteed. However, I dont think the war will continue because the US has paid a heavy price, and they are also afraid. We control the Strait of Hormuz, which, for the US, is probably worse than having a hundred nuclear bombs. We are very familiar with those US statements; they are unreliable, and we must be highly vigilant. People must be careful because we must consider the possibility of something similar to the US withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal happening again; in other words, the US-Iran agreement might be torn up."Conflict Status: 1.

Trump imposed the 10% global tariffs in February under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which are set to last a maximum of 150 days and were originally scheduled to expire in July and be replaced by new tariffs. Speaking at an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations, Greer said that the law may allow for the reinstatement of these tariffs, as the regulations only specify the expiration date and not when they can be reinstated. Greer did not say whether the Trump administration would seek to extend these tariffs, but stated that he "cannot imagine" Congress intending to limit the presidents power to use Section 122 tariffs to once per term.① Iran 1.
